Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2016
542. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation her plans to approve and sign a code of practice on the conduct of adjudications under section 9 of the Construction Contracts Act 2013; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18030/16]
View answerThe Construction Contracts Act, 2013 will apply to certain construction contracts entered into after the 25th July 2016 in accordance with Statutory Instrument No. 165 of 2016 entitled 'Construction Contracts Act, 2013 (Appointed Day) Order 2016'. The parties to an applicable construction contract entered into after the 25th July must therefore ensure that the contract conforms to the provisions of the new legislation.
I will publish a Code of Practice relating to the conduct of adjudications under section 9 of the Act in the coming weeks, following which there will be a public information campaign undertaken by my Department in relation to the commencement of the legislation.
